My Vitamin B12 is >2000 (normal is 211-946). Does anyone know what side effects that could have?  I googled it, but I can't find a straight answer.

Mine has been that high, with no effects. Cut back, bu****ch it. It can drop pretty quickly.

Your body can only absorb so much B12 per day. It merely gets rid of the extra. B12 is one vitamin that is better to keep high.

I just asked my neurologist last week about this.  He said nothing bad can come off b12 being too high.  He said it won't hurt anything and there's no need to cut back at all (mine was slightly high)

You can't overdose on too much vitamin B12.   It is a water soluble vitamin (as opposed to fat soluble), which means your body will eliminate what it doesn't need.  The biggest consequence is expensive pee.

Won't hurt much.  But if you want to save a few bucks on supplements, definitely cut back a bit...

I use a sublingual once a week to keep my level around 900.  Others have to take it every day.  Everyone is a little different.

Mine was also >2000. Dr. said not harmful, just expensive pee.
